Just finished this and feel like I need to take this offline with you because I have QUESTIONS! I asked Sarah but she doesn’t remember. Email me if you have time, please!

p.s. Yes, agree with your review- this book was marvelous. I loved the Shakespeare, but that’s probably because i was an English Lit major.

I am hoping to capture some of the same experience of reading The Secret History with this one!

It was a good read! I’m glad you liked this new one.

Oh my gosh! That’s so funny about Christopher Yates. Loved Black Chalk.

Thanks, Renee. You really need to read The Secret History. It’s a book I read a long time ago and will never forget. It would be on my all time top ten!

Thanks, Catherine! I think you’ll be really glad you read Villains!

I have so many upcoming releases to read, but have now gone and requested this one because you’re both raving about it. Curses!

I also have to say- I love your one sentence summaries. I can’t do a one sentence anything!

You know the Shakespeare initially bothered me, but I do think it was completely necessary to the story and added a level of sinisterness (that is probably not a word, but whatever!) that really made the story. Once I realized I didn’t have to actually make sense of the Shakespeare, things went much smoother.

Thank you so much for the recommendation! Also – Christopher Yates accused me (on Twitter) of cheating on him with another campus novel – haha!

I haven’t read The Secret History either but it’s been on my TBR forever. Excellent review!
